Nursing Need Theory in Research
Virginia Henderson’s Nursing Need Theory (NNT) is a theory that can be used in
every aspect of nursing. Through this paper we will take an in depth look at two different
research studies and how the NNT was used as its framework. We will focus on the use of
the NNT to increase independence through mobility and how the NNT aids in that as our
concept of interest (COI).
Purpose of Research Study 1
The first study we will focus on looks at elderly individuals and the association of
physical mobility and other secondary interactions such as social variables or
illness/disease and how they correlate. The NNT was used to construct the evaluation tool
as well as a tool for education post study. Through this study we are better able to
understand how different variables can affect a patient’s mobility and create disability.
Use of COI/NNT within the Research Study 1
This study used the NNT to develop both the questioner as the main factor in
gathering data (Bezerra Clares, de Freitas, & Borges, 2013). The NNT was also used to
develop nursing interventions for the participants to increase their independence through
mobility. Mobility was broken down into several different topics within the questioner,
then those topics were used to assess the participants over all mobility and impairments to
that mobility (Bezerra Clares, de Freitas, & Borges, 2013). With those outcomes in mind
the data was analyzed to look for correlations among the population. The NNT was then
used again to develop interventions for each specific population (Bezerra Clares, de
Freitas, & Borges, 2013). Through the use of the NNT we were better able to identify and
